Editorial: Adding Palestine to the map
Despite its formal withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli government continues its military and economic suppression of the Palestinian people's national and human rights, even though a majority of Israelis would like to see a two-state solution to the long and deadly conflict.

From the point of view of the 1,200 Palestinians who had been trapped inside the "Alfei Menashe enclave," this is a huge success. The section of the fence that will be rebuilt will follow a route that will not cut them off from the rest of the West Bank - which is just the goal that Sfard set himself.
